pedal question

[haro_rider09]

how do i find the size of my pedals?

[haro_rider09]

someone told me the size of the wrench is what matters....
if its 1/2 the wrench size is 1/2 and same for 9/16
true or not?

3 piece cranks have 9/16, 1 piece use 1/2 and I can't remember what 2 piece usually use, but I think its still 9/16

I think he means the spindle size...

If you have ONE piece cranks, you have a 1/2 inch spindle (smaller) on your pedals.

If you have THREE piece cranks, then they accept only 9/16 inch (larger) spindles.

so my 3 piece is 9/16?
ok thanx

Do you mean to ask what size wrench you need? Most use a 15mm today.

Cheers

no i need to know the pedal size to buy

If you have a 3 piece or a two piece than 9/16" if you have a one piece than 1/2"

ya i think its pretty dumb how if u wanna put a bike together good u have to use all this metric crap, i used normal wrenches and it stripped alotta my bolts

[sxe fbm rider]

why wouldnt you just get metric wrenches, you'll save money buying two setys rather than having to replace all your stripped bolts. The metric system is better anyway.

well I live on a farm and all our wrenches and other tools are in our shop, and since our tractors and other equipment use normal wrenches, thats all we got, plus im a little down on money to buy a whole new set
